Try the ASUS Eee Pad MeMO. Not out yet but at $249 w/ a quad core processor running ICS, I think it's worth the wait.

bro, just wait till when this one is out........

I suggest u go for ASUS Transformer tablet.
But between Acer Iconia and Motorola Xoom, go for Iconia since my friend still use it and not found any problem.

[Q] What is the best tablet out there?

Hello,
Am looking around for tablets. What is the best tablet out there?
Tegra 2/dual-core atom or better. Price below 400$ for brand new.
It must be hackable/moddable. Should have an active developer community or open platform.
Would consider Android, Linux and Windows.
Following options are on my list,
Toshiba Thrive
Asus Transformer
Acer Iconia - Tegra version
Motorola Xoom
Am open to more suggestions.

The best available dual-core tablet available is Asus Transformer. It has good community support, and the tablet itself its great.

I'd go for Asus Transformer, just cause it asus!

He said dual core or better so I guess in terms of futureproof, I'll be the guy to offer the Transformer Prime, otherwise, the original Transformer.

I don't think the Asus Transformer Prime costs below $400.

Thank you guys. Yes, prime is 500$ - not below 400$ but I'd be more than glad to pick Prime over the TF101 if you can find me a 400$ deal. =P
But, I don't think Tegra 3 is future-proof. I've been hearing an octa-core is brewing in the kitchen. Nonetheless, sometime back I used to see these 400-500$ Windows 7 Atom tablets. I wonder what happened to them. It'd be really nice if Acer would offer an Ubuntu version of W500. W500 is dual-core AMD x86 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium and costs 500$ but if they make the cut on Windows 7, they should be able to roll out a 400$ x86 Ubuntu tablet.
As of now, am seriously considering Transformer original or Thrive. (Thrive has full USB ports without adapter while Transformer has active dev community. )
And, didn't anyone roll out an AOSP tablet? You know like those developer phones with vanilla Android.

Sorry I missed the $400 part.

Ya asus tablet is nice, all I can afford is nook color running cm7.2
HTC Wildfire S VM "s-off rooted stock Rom"

Best Tablet Out There
Acer Transform has my vote. Or the moto xoom! Android > Apple

Best Android 4.0 tablet out there?

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a really good Android tablet (version 4.0 - ICS). Great display, 1GB RAM, and Dual Core or Quad Core CPU.
I am checking the web and there are tons of tablets. Samsung is NOT the only option. The Chinese versions seem very conveniently priced.
So, what is really the best and fastest tablet out there today?
Thanks

Toshiba Thrive is AWESOME! But little development and no ICS YET, but is scheduled to get it
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5

I've heard really good things about the Asus Transformer Prime and so far they've been really good at keeping their products up to date and supporting them. I've tinkered around with one in Best Buy and was impressed. Sleek and fast. And it's quad core

I can't say enough about the Asus Transformer Prime w/ dock. Very high quality device.

Also think the Asus Transformer Prime is awesome!

Don't buy the Prime just yet! Wait for the Asus Transformer Infinity or the Padfone!

Best and fastest tablet out right now? Nothing other than the awesome ASUS Transformer Prime.
I still prefer iPad due to the selection of Apps (Android is severely lacking here), but Android is awesome for its customization and openness,

I currently own a Transformer (original) and I would highly recommend the prime, if it lives up to half of what my transformer does it is an incredible tablet. Also has a good amount of development and is a powerhouse

Try Iberry Auxus It Is Cheap ANd Very Good
Here http://iberry.asia/

has to be asus TF !

I have an Asus Transformer Prime. It is really great. Not only the prestations but also the design of the TFP. I recommend you to consider the Asus Transformer Prime!

Motorola Xoom is the best one I tried so far, with ICS of course.

TF Prime. I have had it for 3 months now. Monster.

One of my friends has the Asus Transformer Prime and it's great.

Motorola Xoom:
Make it a GED and you can't go wrong, just got the 4.0.4 OTA update, it runs so smooth

Transformer Prime is on top right now. and the dock is a MUST have for this tablet.

tablet
if u want for development then try auraslate lifepad

Yeah, the Asus Transformers Prime. Its Awesome.

Only downside of the TFP is there aren't really good ROMs jet.

Which Android tablet - 2012?

Guy's, need advice on which Android tablet to go for. My sister will be picking this up in USA before she comes for a visit around second week of July.
Requirements
10" display
Running ICS or upgradable to ICS.
Stable operation with official ROM/updates.
Easily rootable (Installing custom ROMs is not a necessity)
Memory card slot absolute must.
USB OTG.
Able to play most of the common video formats
HDMI out either out of the box or through an inexpensive adapter
Good WiFi performance. 3G is not a requirement.
Budget is not a constraint (can go up to $800) as long as its worth it.
Was originally considering the Transformer Prime 64GB + Dock, but not too sure about it after all the GPS/WiFi problems I keep hearing about.
Other options that I am considering.
Asus Transformer TF300 32GB + Dock
Acer Iconia A510
Toshiba Excite 32GB
I am also interested in the Infinity Pad 700, but I don't think it will be available by the time sis comes home and it won't be available in my country anytime soon.

Guy's waiting for inputs on these tablets... Which one would be the best to go for?

Honestly I think the Galaxy tabs are the best, but from those choices, I would go with the Toshiba, it has minor problems from what I heard, not too bad. :thumbup:

I think the Galaxy Gab will do fine, just because it's Samsung, so it should be good.

The Toshiba should meet all requirements.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA

The main reason I am not going with the Galaxy Tabs is because they don't have storage expandability and secondly that none of them are upto date on hardware front.
If it can at least play videos from a high capacity USB stick without draining too much battery life, I would go with it.

The Toshiba is the all rounder for a power user. Samsungs are pretty not super functional, Acer are confused (tried something different and failed) and transformer is an expensive luxury (everything sold seperately)

I would avoid Toshiba at all costs. Poor support. Small dev community.

From a purely Brand perspective, my preference order would be Asus, Samsung, Acer and last of all Toshiba. I wouldn't mind spending a premium if the product is worth it. As I mentioned my Original plan was to get Transformer Prime + Dock, but dropped that idea because of current issues with that tablet. been doing some research on the other tablets as well these are the issues I have been hearing
Transformer Prime - WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth reception issues. Stability issues with ICS.
Transformer Pad TF300 - ICS Stability/performance issues
Acer Iconia A510 - Overheats during gaming, Screen responsiveness issues.
Toshiba Excite 32GB - Poor battery life (< 8hrs), way costly compared to other 32GB Tegra 3 tablets.

I'd rank them as
Toshiba
Transformer Pad (either)
Galaxy Tab
Iconia
I stopped worrying about battery life,it's all in how you use your tablet. If you must game for long periods then the transformer makes sense. The prime has the best life.

ASUS TF700T Versus ASUS Padfone 2

My ASUS TF700T are considered to be a "High-end" tablet. So when I got the chance to borrow a Padfone 2 I decided to pit them at each other. It's nothing scientific about this test at all, I'm just racing two tablets against each other as any geek would do during there free time.
One of my fears with the ASUS Padfone 2 was that the it would prove to be weak when used as a tablet. Instead my TF700T actually seems "laggy" compared with the Padfone 2
http://youtu.be/0iVX0LSA_sE
Over all the Padfone seems "snappier" and at one point my TF700T even hangs (at 3.30). Can this be the famous "I/O problem"?

To be honest, it would be weird if the tf700 outperformed the Padfone 2. Seriously, if you look at specs alone, padfone 2 is obviously the more powerful device: Snapdragon S4 Pro (the most powerful Android SoC currently available for purchase), 2 GB RAM (versus only 1 GB in the tf700), faster internal storage, etc... On top of that, the padfone 2 only has to drive HD screens (both the phone and the tablet) instead of full HD screen in our tablet. To sum up, padfone 2: superior hardware with less pixels to drive.
The tf700 was a high-end tablet one year ago, but not any more. If you are expecting the latest and greatest hardware, you should not get the tf700 in the first place. The correct answer should be either Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Snaprdagon S4 Pro) or soon-to-be-available Padfone Infinity with Snapdragon 600 (if you are not in the US), both Full HD tablets.

PadFone 2 It is FullHD 1920x1089 and tablet screen is 1920x1200

padfone is going to cost like a thousand bucks. I have an infinity with dock and a good droid phone that were cheaper than that combined. Infinity is a great device except for the crappy internal emmc. without my data2sd mod I would've gotten ridbof it a long time ago.

My guess would be no. It is ironic that phones always have better storage than tablets. Furthermore, Snapdragon SoCs have always been superior to Tegra with regards to connection, memory and storage controller, and I don't expect Snapdragon 600 to disappoint in this front.

don't think the storage controller has really any thing to do with the soc you use..
Asus just used a crappy one in the Infinity..
For example has the HTC One X(+) that is also a Tegra4 device has any problem with flash? I haven't heard anything about that from my brother that has that phone.
What the infinity has reminds my about the first SSD with the first generation controllers also there there where large hickups and that kind of problems, only when Intel came to the market with there first gen controller it was suddenly way better.
What we have in the infinity is nothing more then a controller that you also find in USB controllers that are really optimized for large sequential single threaded access. Not multi threaded small i/o
